If the battery is inserted while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
2. Check the saw blade for visible defects.
Con

rm that the saw blade is free of cracks or other
visible damage.
3. Con
fi
rm that the saw blade is attached securely to the
power tool.
Using the supplied 5 mm hex. bar wrench, tighten the
left hex. 7 mm socket bolt on the saw blade spindle to
secure the saw blade.
For details, see Fig. 36-a and Fig. 36-b in the section
on “SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING”.

operation of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly
and covers the saw blade properly.

NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower
guard does not function smoothly.
5. Con
fi
rm the position of the spindle lock before using
the tool.
After installing the saw blade, con

lock has been returned to the released position before
using the power tool (see Fig. 36-a).
6. Eye
protection
Always wear eye protection with side shields that
meets the requirements of ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate
protection because they do not contain impact
resistant safety glass.

Operating the tool without wearing proper eye
protection may result in serious injury.
AFTER INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY (BATTERY)
TO THE TOOL, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE
TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
7. Electric
brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will
typically stop the blade within 5 seconds after the
trigger switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake
engaging which will result in a longer blade stopping
time. On rare occasions, the brake may not engage at
all and the saw blade will coast to a stop.
If the brake fails to engage frequently, depress and
release the trigger switch to turn the tool on and o
ff
4 or 5 times. If the brake still does not engage, have
the tool serviced at a metabo HPT authorized service
center.
Always
con
fi
rm that the saw blade has completely
stopped before raising it from the workpiece.
The brake is not a substitute for a properly functioning
lower guard. Check the function of the lower guard
before each use. Serious personal injury may occur
if the lower guard does not move smoothly and cover
the blade properly.
